This song is a declaration of love---whether for a lover, family member, or friend is immaterial. It's a testament for someone she loves dearly that the world will change but will not change them and as a result, "everything is going to be all right." She assures that they will not only weather the storms "through the days and nights," but that things will, "only get better," because they have something real and tangible in their unconditional love for each other. Life is always a little kinder when you know that someone is waiting at home for you with a love that you can return to when life gets harsh. This song is nothing short of beautiful. Furthermore, the ache and strength with which she sings adds much depth to the words.
